Family picture. This four guy stop by and said hi after I mowed the lawn.
My dove come back and laid egg on my cattleyas again. I manage to took one picture during the shift change

That is really neat! I guess the nest doesn't harm the cattleyas.

Beautiful pictures! Wow I love the fact that the dove lays her eggs in your Catt ...

Oh your Sandhill Cranes are beautiful, and 2 babies I hope that they raise them, they are horrible parents. The doves are persistent and I have finally hung an empty basket lined with screen for them to use instead of my orchids. They take the move quite well even when I have to move the nest and eggs too.

I don't think the dove hurt the cattleyas. This is the third time it laid egg. Every time I water it just look and me and didn't fly away. The most I worry about is the egg when I water the plant.
